Webinar:
Believing You Know What’s Best: Understanding and Assisting in Cases of Hoarding and Self-Neglect with Older Adults
- September 24th at 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
What are the ethics behind self-neglect and decision-making capacity? What is hoarding and why do people start? How and when can you intervene? While cases of self-neglect and hoarding can be extremely complicated, these are questions we will address in our upcoming webinar. Using case examples, experts will discuss balancing safety and self-determination, the psychology behind hoarding, and the resources and interventions available to older adults in need of assistance.
